Curious to see where they move check-in and location integrations. I've noticed they've been using my foursquare data to show me "Which place do you like better?" in the sidebar. They could do a lot more recommending of places like restaurants, bars, stores, and tie in deals.

From the post:

"For about six months, we’ve been using a combination of StatsD, Graphite, and GeckoBoard to power a real-time dashboard of some of our system stats."

Thanks for all the interest!

I think it's somewhat relevant since the article discusses incoming mail handling in MobileMail.app. And obviously it's not a hardware issue or 'faulty unit' as you say. It's a well documented issue.

This is a great breakdown, thanks. Now can you explain why so often I receive an email on the iPhone and one of two things happens:

1. I'm not in MobileMail.app, get a notification that an email arrives, but when I enter the app, nothing is there. When I manually hit the refresh mail button, the new message downloads and appears.

2. If I'm in MobileMail.app a new email arrives and I see it up top for a few seconds, and instantly it disappears. Again, I have to tap refresh to re-download the message.

Why does this happen?

How does Hipmunk make money? Commissions on flights are extremely, extremely low. That's why sites like Kayak, Orbitz, etc. are plastered with ads - they make the majority of their money through advertising and upselling.

That dumpy looking building to you is actually pretty nice looking on the outside and inside in person. It's also the third largest building by square footage in Manhattan, the main carrier hotel in the city for providers like Realty Trust, Equinix, Telx and home to a ton of high profile companies like Nike, Deutsch, Armani, Spotify among others.

To clarify - time it took to complete the challenge was never factored into the application process. We simply pulled this data because we thought it would make for an interesting metric to display in the post.

The real question is, did it pay off? Did going exclusively to TC generate the traffic and buzz you were looking for? Would love to hear more about the results.
